After we were eliminated from the playoffs, the talking heads argued that we should trade Dwight to LA because it was inevitable that he would go there, despite no evidence to suggest that he wants out, none that alludes to LA as his primary target, or any feasible means of acquiring him on LA's behalf barring a Melo-like cop out from one Dwight Howard. They'd suggest, "why stay on a sinking ship in Orlando when you could join a great supporting cast with one of the greatest players and coaches of all-time?", for a team whose HOF player is on the tail-end of his career, whose HOF coach has one foot out the door, and whose roster, as a whole, is on the verge of imploding.
Forget that LA has no financial flexibility, forget that their most enticing trade offer is a classless, injury-prone center making similar bank without half of Dwight's impact, forget that Dwight himself has stated that he wouldn't follow the "Shaq blueprint", our organization and fans alike should panic because Mike f****** Wilbon has just as much access to the ESPN trade machine as the rest of us.
He is a fool. The entire ESPN/NBA cast are comprised of knee-jerk, "what have you done for me lately?" buffoons who were campaigning equally hard for another all-star to leave the team that drafted him for the big apple. I stopped watching NBA on ESPN the minute the incorporated the likes of Barry/Magic into the mix, and it seems that they've attracted even more of the same mess as of late.
Dwight cannot sign with the LA Lakers. He has publicly alluded to not wanting to follow Shaq's path, and we sure as hell won't trade him to the Lakers. This thing has no wheels. It doesn't even have a capable mass by which to attach the wheels to. It doesn't even match the criteria to qualify as a damn rumor. It is a 100% media-driven plea from a team's partial owner (Johnson), and an admirer of said owner (Wilbon), to grab a superstar from another team much in the same way a kid adds a star to their NBA Live team by turning off the trade restrictions.
Unless Dwight is heavily influenced by the opinion of a second-rate journalist, this "campaign" has about as much momentum as your average bleacher's report article.
In responding to and sharing it amongst others, you're adding to its "buzz". Simply put, let it die, and it will.
